    Welcome to Day 5 of Christmas Week. This annual event was started was something I started way back in 2012. This year we have over 35 bloggers sharing festive sweet recipes for the event. Plus we all chipped in for a huge Amazon Gift Card Giveaway so be sure to enter at the bottom of the post!

    I cannot believe this is the last day of Christmas Week. It's been so much fun, and a bit fattening too. I've had blast hosting the event. And baking for the event. And eating for the event. I mean blogger HAVE to test their recipes. It's a hard job but someone has to do it.

    I've made some great recipes this week. Oddly most seemed to have the word "crack" in them. I got a bit carried away with those types of recipes. It's hard not to because they're so easy and wicked delicious at the same time. Plus they contain chocolate so that is a surefire hit.

    I hope you've enjoyed Christmas Week as much as we have. So many amazing recipes to peruse and check out. I cannot get over how many recipes I whipped up this week. Not to mention how many recipes I've tasted and perfected this week. I'm honestly surprised I can fit through the door at this point.

    No matter how many calories were consumed one thing is certain, I could not ask for better partners in crime for this amazing event. The bloggers involved with Christmas Week stepped up and blew my mind every single day. So THANK YOU to all my lovely friends who joined me this week!

    A huge shout out to Aly of Cooking In Stilettos for helping me update recipe links this week. It's a big job to go through posts every day to ensure all posts went up and had correct information. Aly stepped up when my week spun out of control for personal reasons. Thank you Alycat!

    Prep Time 10 minutes minutes

    Author Kim Beaulieu

    Ingredients

    • 1 ½ cups milk chocolate chips
    • 1 ½ cups white chocolate chips
    • Red gel food colouring start with 1 dab then add from there to adjust colour
    • 1 14 ounce can of sweetened condensed milk
    • ¼ teaspoon salt
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

    Instructions

    • Line an 8 inch pan with foil or parchment paper, set aside.
    • Grab two medium size bowls.
    • Place milk chocolate chips into one bowl. Add red gel food colouring and stir until combined. Start with one little dab to start. You can always adjust the colour later. Always best to start with a bit and add more. Once you add too much you can't go back. Set aside. 
    • Pour white chocolate chips into the other bowl. Set bowl aside.
    • In a small saucepan heat the sweetened condensed milk over medium-low heat. You want it to bubble gently across the top of the milk, and heat through without browning or sticking. This takes a few minutes. Don't walk away from it, stir it occasionally and keep a close eye on it. It can go from warming gently to burning pretty quickly.
    • Add the salt and vanilla. Stir. Take off heat. Pour half the milk over the milk chocolate chips, and half over the white chocolate chips.
    • Use a different spoon to stir each one quickly until the chocolate chips melt and the mixture is smooth and thick.
    • Drop random spoonfuls here and there in the pan. Just drop them all over so they look like patchwork. Keep adding spoonfuls randomly until all the mixture is in the pan.
    • Take a knife and gently pull it back and forth slowly to create patterns in the fudge. There's no right or wrong way to do it. I drag mine in lines one way, then turn the pan and run them the other way.
    • Place the pan in the fridge for about 2 to 3 hours, or overnight. You can score it before it completely hardens if you like.
    • Once fudge is chilled cut into squares.
    • Serve with a big old red velvet loving smile!

        I love all the stuff you make. Gummy candies in thumbprints would be amazing. Very cool idea. What are Chocolate TV Rolls? I've not heard of those.

      Traditions are important in our home. I would love to start new ones to keep families together. I am going to attempt the Red Velvet Swirl recipe as it would look beautiful on table at Christmas.

      Those are pretty incredible looking, and they do sound easy even if they looks so "fancy pants." Love that! I may just have to whip some up ASAP. Thanks so much for hosting this fun event.

      Kim,
      You make both hosting and creating gorgeous treats look effortless, but I know there has to be a ton of behind the scenes work involved--at least in the hosting.
      I'm pretty sure in making those lovely swirls as well. My marbling skills leave a lot to be desired. It's ok, everyone has to have something that they are good at.
      Thanks for the fudge, thanks for the opportunity, thanks for being you!
